Cornish Cod ~ Grilled mussels ~ Camel Valley blanquette. A dish we created to celebrate some key Cornish produce. Immaculate Cornish cod loins – caught on day boats and sourced for us by @flyingfish525, we take the loin off the cod and cure it in kelp before lightly poaching it in brown butter. The biggest and most delicious Cornish mussels – sourced from St Austell Bay, these beauties are farmed out in the deep water making them larger and more juicy. We steam them in kombu before warming them in a citrus seaweed butter. We serve this with a blanquette sauce made from our exclusive @camelvalleyvineyard sparkling Chardonnay, shallots, ceps, hard herbs, Pink Fir apple potatoes, diced seaweed, chervil, lemon, crème fraiche and a little dollop of smoked pike’s roe for the texture and light smokey undertones.

What a truly beautiful, world class, masterpiece of a book. What a story of excellence it truly is. I was just a small part of its history many years ago but RHR was a huge part of my life and a huge part of my heritage. Thank you @gordongram & @chef.mattabe and congratulations ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I adore this recipe, so it was a must when it came to putting it in the book. Lemon Sole is a beautiful fish to eat and it’s inexpensive, so you get a lot for your money. Made here using my brilliant @hexclad_europe pans and our locally produced Camel Valley Sparkling Wine. An absolute showstopper that feels so decadent without using hugely expensive seafood. I hope you enjoy cooking it!
All of the Pigeon (No6 hay-aged) ~ Salted plum condiment ~ Black cardamom A guest and Ainsworth team favourite, that’s become a No6 signature! 🐦
@no6padstow pastry and bakery team working away behind the scenes on our new Scarpetta. Cornish milk bread / cubeb pepper / flakey @cornishsea_salt / @casa_migmag olive oil / lemon thyme / @wildfarmed flour and a few @steweeggs . Nearly there …
Our focus across The Ainsworth Collection has always been to create the best possible experiences for our guests, sourcing the best ingredients and drinks and offering the warmest hospitality. What some don’t know, is that Emma and I are also passionately focused on creating beautiful, interesting, and thought-provoking spaces for our guests. Over the years, with the help of our teams, we have chosen artwork and music that reflects not only who we are, but that also tell their own stories. We love learning about the artists behind the pictures and each piece is chosen for its significance and meaning to us. Last week at @yield_gallery in Blackheath, I met @fernartlondon, who presented us with two specially commissioned pieces of art for The Ainsworth Collection and told me her own story of how she became such a talented artist. Her artwork is stunning and I can’t wait to share more of it with you.
“Risotto” (King oyster mushroom) Manzanilla Sherry ~ Pickled Morels This is an absolutely cracking dish and one that’s inspired by @claudebosi’s famous mushroom ‘risotto’ – a play on a classic risotto made with mushrooms rather than rice💥👊🏽 We make ours using King Oyster Mushrooms, which have the perfect consistency to replicate the rice, they’re also full of flavour but not too heavy. We simply dice and roast these in lots of butter. Next, we make a chestnut mushroom puree, so loads of mushrooms roasted heavily in brown butter, then deglazed with Madeira and tamari to create a really savoury, umami flavour. We finish this with a great sherry vinegar. On top, some pickled shimeji mushrooms for acidity and some of the beautiful morels we pickled at their peak earlier this Spring. A little Ramson oil – which we make from the wild garlic leaves again collected earlier in the year and then preserved. Then, a really light sauce made from Manzanilla sherry, some dried ceps, lots of shallots and bay leaves, which we pour on top, before adding a final sprinkle of caramelised Spenwood, a Pecorino style cheese from Berkshire, which we’ve roasted until crisp.

Can’t quite believe January is already upon us! Looking forward to the year ahead, our ambition is burning brighter than ever, excited and curious for 2024, we can’t wait to see what it brings! A dish I’m really looking forward to welcoming back is our latest evolution of the Tallow aged fillet of beef from @philipwarrenbutchers. Can’t wait to showcase with the best Winter truffles after a brief reappearance for New Year’s Eve, we just can’t let it go 🔥👊🏾
